WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE
THE RIGHT FUEL
Only use Class C1 paraffin fuel in accordance with BS2869: Part 2, or equivalent. Your Zibro heater has been
designed for use with high-quality water-free pure paraffin oil, such as Zibro Extra or Zibro Kristal. Only
fuels of this kind will ensure clean and proper burning. Lower quality fuel may result in:
Eincreased possibility of malfunctioning
Eincomplete burning
Ereduced heater lifetime
Esmoke and/or smells
Edeposits on the grid or mantle
Using the right fuel is therefore essential for safe, efficient, and comfortable use of your heater.
Always refer to your local Zibro dealer for the right fuel for your heater.
TIPS FOR SAFE USE
1Make surethat children are always aware of the presence of a burning heater.
2Position the front of the heater at a distance of minimum 1.5 metres from walls, curtains, and furniture.
3Do not use the heater in dusty rooms. You will not have optimum burning in such rooms. Do not use the
heater in the immediate surrounding of a bath, a shower or a swimming pool.
4Switch off the heater, before you leave or go sleeping. Unplug the heater as well, when you go away for
alonger period of time (e.g. holidays).
5Store and move fuel only in suitable tanks and jerrycans.
6Make surethat the fuel is not exposed to heat or extreme temperature changes. Always store the fuel in
acool, dry and dark place (sunlight will affect the quality).
7Never use the heater in places where harmful gasses or fumes may be present (e.g. exhaust gasses or
paint fumes).
8Beware that the grid of the heater becomes hot. If the appliance is covered there is a risk of fire.
• The first time you ignite your heater it will smell like ’new’ for a short time.
• Store your fuel in a cool and dark place.
• Fuel has a limited shelf life. Start every heating season with renewed fuel.
• The right quality of fuel will be assured, when you use ZibroExtra or ZibroKristal for
your heater.
• If you change to another brand and/or type of parrafin oil, you must first finish up all
the remaining fuel in the heater.

1. Introduction
This chapter contains all the relevant information,
specifically:
• Installation specifications
• List of installation tools
• Basic requirements for the installation of the fuel
tank
• Instructions for the installation of the Laser System
The heater can be installed at any location, on condi-
tion that thereis full compliance with electrical, fuel
and emission regulations.
Before you start installing the heating system (possibly
including electrical wiring and fuel supply equipment),
check the local building and fire safety regulations. The
requirements stipulated in these regulations must be
respected in order to guarantee a legally approved
installation and correct operation.
The heater was designed to be used to a
maximum altitude of 1000m above sea level.
Contact your dealer for the necessary
adjustments if you wish to use it at a higher
altitude.
2. Moving the heater
In addition to the space required for the heater, extra
room must be kept free for air circulation. We recom-
mend that you store fuel elsewhere. The Laser System
can be placed on any type of flooring (including fitted
carpets or other flammable materials) and operate
safely, unless fuel or fire safety regulations specify oth-
erwise. Check the gaps in the manner stipulated in the
instructions in the manual.

1. For the standard installation, use the template sup-
plied to position the hole for the exhaust pipe correct-
ly. Use cellotape or small nails to attach the template to
the desired position on the wall (see Fig. 4).
Fig. 4
Tape
Comment: The heater must be installed on a strong
and stable floor.The floor must be flat and level. If this
is not the case, the heater can be levelled by means of
adjustable legs. This can be checked with the plumb
line.
2. Drill the hole for the exhaust pipe. Use a hole saw
with a diameter of 70~80 mm (see Fig. 5). The opening
on the interior side of the wall must be a little higher
than the opening on the outside in order to create a
slight gradient in the feed-through and exhaust pipe
after installation (approximately 2º) (see Fig. 6). This
ensures that condensed water in the exhaust pipe flows
to the outside and prevents the penetration of rainwa-
ter and snow after installation.

8. Installation of an external fuel tank
The installation of an external fuel tank is illustrated in
adiagram (Fig. 1-11). The fact that installation tech-
niques for fuel tanks vary means that it is impossible to
provide a specific installation procedure. However, cer-
tain criteria determine the manner in which the heater
is supplied with fuel. Use the following checklist as a
guideline for the installation of an external tank.

Chapter 1, INSTALLATION
88
☞
CHECKLIST
• Check whether the heater has been connected to a
suitable socket.
• Check that a suitable quantity of petroleum is in the
fuel tank.
• Ensure that the fuel is free of water or other
contaminants.
• Check that the fuel tank is in good working order –
it must be free of rust, corrosion and/or leaks.
• Inspect the fuel pipe for signs of leaks, loose
connections, cracks, air bubbles or blockages.
•Check that the fuel valves on the fuel tank and the
fire safety valve are open in order to allow the free
flow of fuel.
•Check outside the building in order to ascertain that
there is no fuel or obstructions to the free
circulation of air in the area immediately adjacent
to the exhaust pipe.
• Inspect the inlet air hose for cracks, loose
connections or blockages.
• Check the outlet air hose for cracks, loose
connections or blockages.
• Check the back of the heater to ensure that the
airflow to the air circulation ventilator is not
obstructed.
• Inspect the interior of the building to ensure that
the area immediately adjacent to the heater is free
of fuel and objects that may obstruct the free flow
of air.
• Check that the room sensor is not exposed to
draughts, direct sunlight or heat radiated directly
from the heater.
• Use a spirit level to check that the heater is level.
If this inspection brings any faults to light, resolve these
problems before using the heater.
Use only water-free high quality pure
paraffin oil. Never use benzene, LPG,
camping gas or other flammable liquids.
The use of these substances may cause
explosions or fire.
Available fuel supply options
The fuel supply of the Laser 56 can be set up as follows:
Removable fuel tank
Insert the removable fuel tank in the top of the heater.
Connect the free end of the fuel hose to the connect-
ing piece of the removable fuel tank, pressing it firmly
until you hear a click.
Check all parts for any fuel leaks.
Check on a weekly basis.
Large gravity-operated exterior tank
To install a large gravity-operated exterior tank, follow
the instructions below. We recommend that you call in
a recognised installer.
The inlet pressure to the heater may not exceed 2.5 psi.
Use a pressure reduction valve with a maximum thrust
of 2.5 psi ( ± 0.17 bar).
The installation height of the bottom of the fuel tank
must be 40 cm or moreabove the level of the floor on
which the heater is standing. This will ensurethat there
is sufficient fuel inlet pressure. The distance between
the floor surface on which the heater is standing and
the top of the fuel tank may not exceed 2.5 metres.
This will prevent excessive fuel inlet pressures.
The pipe may not have any inverted U-bends (to pre-
vent air pockets that may block the fuel supply).
We recommend using a water-blocking filter in the fuel
pipe leading into the tank. A cut-offvalve must be fit-
ted to the tank.
We recommend installing a fire safety valve and a fuel
filter in the fuel pipe.
The use of a cut-offvalve, placed just before the pipe
enters the building, will limit the quantity of fuel to be
tapped off to a minimum if the heater requires mainte-
nance.

Chapter 1, INSTALLATION
89
If a fuel pipe inside the building is more than 90 cm
long, you must use an extra cut-off valve.
The external fuel tank must be placed at least 2 metres
away from any heat source.
The external fuel tank must have a filling opening on
the top and a ventilation opening with a weather-
resistant cap on the side. Some tanks use the same
opening for ventilation and filling.
Important: Ensurethat the fuel pipe is free of dust and
waste particles. These particles may cause problems in
the fuel receptacle.
Copper tubing with an exterior diameter of 3/8” must
be used for the fuel pipe.
The installation of the external tank must meet fire
safety regulation NFPA31 and/or applicable local regu-
lations. Refer to the local authorities for these regula-
tions.

4. Prior to use
Step 1: Open the valve(s)
Screw the valve on the top of the removable tank open
or open the valve for the external fuel tank and the
fire safety valve of the heater (if present).
Step 2: Start the fuel supply
Carefully press the red unlocking button for one sec-
ond to release the float in the fuel receptacle.
The fuel receptacle only has to be unlocked when the
heater is activated for the first time or after it has run
out of fuel, or if the heater has not been used for an
extended period of time. Unlocking may also be
required if the fuel inlet pressure exceeds 2.5 psi
(± 0.17 bar). In this case, a pressure reduction valve
must be installed.
Step 3: Adjust the clock
Important: The clock on the heater must always be set
to the correct time.
A. Switch the time selector switch to “CLOCK SET”
B. Press the “HOUR” and the “MINUTE” buttons to
adjust the hours and minutes. Pressing the “HOUR”
or “MINUTE” button once will adjust the time by
one unit (hours or minutes respectively). Holding
the button down accelerates the adjustment of the
time display.
All clock and timer settings are deleted if the power is
cut offfor a period longer than 10 seconds. The infor-
mation display flashes “PM 12:00” when the heater is
switched off. The clock and timer now have to be
reprogrammed.
C. Set the timer switch to the “NORMAL” setting after
completing the clock adjustment. The current time
is then displayed on the digital indicator.
5. Manual operation
The heater is operated directly by the user. However,
the heat yield is controlled automatically in accordance
with the room temperature registered by the tempera-
ture sensor.
Step 1: Select manual operation
If the heater is in “AUTO” mode, switch the “AUTO”
switch to “OFF” to change to “MANUAL” operation.
Step 2: Switch the heater ON
Press the ON/OFF button until “ON” is displayed. The
current room temperature and the set temperature are
displayed on the information display.
The ON/OFF light starts to flash, after which the heater
will switch on. The heater will not work if the room
temperature is higher than the desired temperature
setting.
Note: (*) The start-up time depends on the room tem-
perature.
After 9-15 minutes, the heater will automatically select
the correct operating mode and the ON/OFF button
will now be illuminated continuously.
Room temperature:
under 0°C -15 minutes
0°C - 15°C - 12 minutes
15°C -9minutes
If no flames are visible after the start-up period, the
heater will deactivate and then restart automatically. If
flames arestill not detected, the heater will deactivate
and will have to be restarted manually (error code EE-2
on information display).
Step 3: Setting the room temperature
Slide the “NORMAL” temperature selector to the
selected position in order to set the desired room tem-
perature.
The desired temperature setting is shown in the infor-
mation display when you set the room temperature.
The scale on the temperature selector only serves as a
reference point. The figures on the information display
and on the scale may differ, this is normal.
The operating mode is automatically controlled in
accordance with the room temperaturedetected by the
room temperature sensor. The heater works in the
“HIGH” operating mode until the room temperature
has reached the desired level.
When the room temperature reaches the chosen set-
ting, the heater automatically switches to the “MED”
or “LOW” operating mode in order to maintain the
desired temperature. If the room temperature exceeds
92
Chapter 2, OPERATION

the setting by approximately 2°C, the heater is
switched off automatically. If the room temperature
drops, the heater will automatically restart in order to
maintain the desired temperature.
Note: The operating mode lights indicate the mode in
which the heater is working at any one time. The
heater switches automatically between the “HIGH”,
“MED” and “LOW” operating modes in order to main-
tain the desired temperature.
6. Automatic operation
Automatic operation is initiated by programming the
time/temperaturesettings for a specific time. Working
in “SET-BACK” mode is programmed for a 24-hour peri-
od. This mode was developed to save energy by using a
lower temperature setting, usually at night.
Programming is carried out as follows (night setting):
Ensure that the clock has already been programmed
(see step 4, chapter 2-5).
Step 1: Set the start time of the “SET-BACK” mode
A. Slide the time selector switch to the “START SET-
BACK” position.
B. Press “HOUR” and “MINUTE” to set the desired start
and finish times. (pay attention to the AM or PM
designation).
When setting the “SET-BACK” time, the “MINUTE”
button will change in increments of 10 minutes
(e.g. 10:00, 10:10, 10:20 etc.).
C. The start time of the “SET-BACK” mode is then
shown in the information display (e.g. PM 10:00).
Step 2: Set the finish time of the “SET-BACK” mode.
While the time selector switch is in the “END SET-
BACK” mode, you must now programme the finish
time in the same manner as described above
(e.g. AM 6:00).
After programming, move the time selector switch
back to the NORMAL position.
Step 3: Set the room temperature
Slide the “SET-BACK” temperature selector (night
temperature) to the desired position (e.g. 15°C).
Turn the AUTO switch to the “ON” position.
Step 4: Set the ON/OFF switch to ON
If the temperature is lower than or drops below the
requested temperature, the heater will start automati-
cally.
7. Reprogramming the heater
In certain circumstances (e.g. power cuts), it may be
necessary to reprogram the heater. Follow the steps
specified above when reprogramming the timer. Do
not forget to set the clock (step 4, chapter 2-5).
8. Cleaning system for the ignition rod
Automatic cleaning system of the ignition ignition rod
The heater will switch off automatically each day at
2:00 in the morning, allowing the ignition rod to clean
itself for 10 minutes. CL: 10 will then appear in the dis-
play, changing every minute to CL:09, CL: 08, etc.
